AKIRA ONE

Akira One is a 51.82-metre steel-hulled displacement yacht built by Benetti in 1998 and comprehensively refit in 2022 — a combination that places her firmly in the category of classically engineered superyachts brought meaningfully up to date. Registered under the Greek flag, she carries 490 gross tonnes and benefits from the structural confidence that comes with Benetti's long-standing reputation for deep-sea construction at this scale. Her displacement hull and extended range of over 4,600 nautical miles — considerable for a vessel her size — make her equally suited to extended passage-making as to leisurely island cruising.

Accommodating up to 12 guests across six cabins, Akira One is well-matched to family groups or close social circles seeking a private, professionally managed charter experience in Greek waters. An 11-person crew against 12 guests is a notably generous ratio, translating to attentive, unhurried service throughout. She is less suited to large groups seeking a high-volume party environment, or charterers who prioritise ultra-modern interior aesthetics over seakeeping ability and range.

What distinguishes Akira One from many charter yachts of comparable length is the combination of her displacement hull, advanced stabilisation system — effective both underway and at anchor — and the depth of the 2022 refit. The stabilisation, in particular, meaningfully improves comfort during overnight passages and in open Aegean waters where conditions can shift unexpectedly. For guests prone to motion sensitivity, this is a practical consideration rather than a marginal one.

Life aboard Akira One is oriented strongly around the water. The swimming platform provides immediate sea access, and the water toy inventory is extensive: three Yamaha FX Cruiser jet-skis, a flyboard, Seabobs, a waterslide, paddleboards, water-skis, and towable inflatables between them cover nearly every level of activity from high-energy to leisurely. Sunpads, a deck jacuzzi, BBQ, and gym round out a vessel that balances active days on the water with relaxed evenings on deck. The crew-to-guest ratio ensures that transitions between activities — and between anchorage and passage — feel seamless rather than logistically managed.

The provisional rating is based on available public data, reflecting acceptable standards across safety documentation, maintenance records, and operational protocols.
